Artista Homes – 30 Casselman Crescent
The bungalow is showing as a two-bedroom home with an open of- fice just inside the front entrance, but the office wall can be restored to create a third bedroom. A formal dining room off the foyer is one of two dining areas ad- jacent to the central kitchen. An eating nook on the opposite side opens on to a covered deck at the rear of the house and flows into the great room. “What is nice about the kitchen is you can talk to people when you’re cooking or entertaining friends. You can look at the fireplace and be part of the action,” Olson says. Oversized backsplash tiles add character, rising to the ceiling above a contemporary hood fan, and white cabinetry and white quartz countertops along the back wall contrast with grey cabinets and a charcoal quartz countertop on the island, which has a built-in mi- crowave. “There is also a contemporary all-in-one stove/range. And at the fridge wall, instead of just a fridge opening we have a fridge-freez- er,” Olson says. A stairway directly off the kitchen leads to the lower level, which has high ceilings and steel-beam construction to give owners flexible finishing options. Instead of a stub wall, the stairwell is enclosed by custom-stained maple panels with glass inserts. There’s more ma- ple and glass in the entertainment unit flanking the fireplace and hardwood flooring pulls the look together. Cont’d on page 43
